I've made a number of bush swords down through the years inspired by a certain blade in a zombie-killing video game. They typically are around 15" blades. Here's the first of this basic style to be made, back in 2015:

It was finished out with a thick false edge, aggressifying the aesthetics but not coming close to a cutting edge. The customer wanted a hemp cord wrap, and I topped it off with a three-strand Turk's head knot in paracord.

Bet they could even do some fine cutting in a kitchen or at the campsite.

Message of Insight and Unity

We go into the wilderness to fulfill our hearts and empty our minds of life's garbage.
The gear we leave behind and the challenges we encounter,
Are methods we use to cleanse our spirits.
Of Survivalists and Bushcrafters, Primitive Technologists too, we are one.........

It is the wilderness within, we strive for first and always.
Not everyone can have a cabin in the mountains.
The thread that connects us, is fine like silk and strong as steel.
Together, the song of the wilderness is the song we sing!

"And can I say something else?"
Bushcrafting is "doing what you want to do."
Survival is "doing what you have to do"
Primitive Technology is about all of the above........

I was flipping through the channels today and Forged in Fire was on...they had that Helm guy on and let him make that KattsBalls sword again...can you believe that?...I have watched that program at least 5 times and they always let him make the same sword!!...you woulda thought after the second time they would have changed it.....you just can't trust TV.....

Really nice blades. Ron has one of yours. It is quite long and the handle is full tang and rounded into a circle. He LOVED it. I still have it. I remember him walking around with it in his hand "feeling" it. He really, really liked your work! So do I.
